  • How do I zoom in FCPX?

    Posted by Chris Cameorn on June 30, 2011 at 12:25 pm

    This may be a newbie question but I am hoping someone can help me figure out how to zoom into a clip. I filmed a wedding and i want to zoom into the shot from the unmanned back camera. Ideally, I would like the shot to look like I zoomed in from the camera so I think I need keyframes and animation but I am clueless about this stuff! 😉

    Thanks!

    Select the clip in the sequence, then click on the transform button (found just under the viewer) add a keyframe (button shows up in the viewer), then move later in the clip to set where the expansion goes to by dragging on the blue buttons you’ll see around the clip, a keyframe will be added automatically.

    Hey Jerry,
    Is there any way to make the scroll wheel on my mouse a zoom in and zoom out setting in FCPX?
